Review of 'Eleventh Grave in Moonlight' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Charley is learning to live with the fact that she will not see her daughter for a long time, but that Beep is safe. However, her clients (both departed and alive) need her to be the best she can be. This time she has a new client that was probably abducted by the same people that abducted Reyes. The case takes Charley on a journey about evil and free will. And ends in a big, big cliffhanger.

For some reason, the humour in the dialogues seemed forced in the beginning, too many sentences intertwined and explained when the explaining was not needed. But then the story picked up pace, and the main mystery is very close to Reyes so of course it got my full attention. Probably what I loved more about this book is that Reyes stopped being a know-it-all character, he did not have all the answers and it made him more human in my opinion (oh the irony!). Cookie and Ubie were the best in this book, together with Osh. I will be in pain waiting for the next book...
